response to Attas post on smoking

Atta expresses similar views on smoking to myself, he states that the young do it to be cool and also is unable to think how people fail to think about the health implications as well as physical problems it gives a smoker. He states that it is common because of its 'coolness'. I think that smoking carries a range of stigmas many attached from films. Many films show smoking as cool, such as gangster films, famous 007 films where the actors roles are seen as ‘great’ this makes smoking looks cool as the bad characters are seen as smoking whilst doing something bad this adds a different view on it and presents reason for smoking which most people will not admit to.
